Abstract
Evaluation of industrial training has been accepted as important by the commercial community for at least the last 30 years, first as a means of ensuring the quality of provision, and second as a means of justifying cost in terms of time and money. Kirkpatrick developed the evaluation model that has almost without exception been accepted throughout the world. However, acceptance has not been followed by implementation. A number of surveys conducted throughout this period have indicated little application. Discusses their findings and supports their conclusions following a survey of 620 companies in the south of England.Keywords
